As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Xiong Er yelling by the well: "The coast... the land... we're saved!"
Liu Jin kowtowed three times facing Dongfang.
He stood up slowly, tears welling in his eyes, "I knew Your Majesty would bless us!"
"Dock and prepare for landing. General Su Mo, please lead the troops to explore the terrain!"
This is a great harbor!
The Dreadnought could easily dock there, but everyone's focus at the moment was not on this, but on this new continent - that was the hope of life!
Su Mo landed with a thousand armed Marines and quickly explored the front.
Gao Yuanyuan carried her senior brother Su Jue on her back, and Liu Jin and everyone else got off the boat and headed towards the depths of the land.
Su Mo and his party walked forward for more than ten miles and saw a lush grassland.
There are many zebras and bison living on the grassland. Su Mo's eyes lit up. Where there are grasslands and animals, there must be fresh water.
"Everyone listen! Hunt the beasts, find water, and set up camp near the water source!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hungry soldiers rushed into the grassland with their last bit of strength. The grassland, which had been peaceful for who knows how many years, was broken by the sound of gunfire.
When Su Jue and others arrived here, they saw clusters of bonfires and smelled the delicious aroma of barbecue.
They were immediately delighted and walked over, supporting each other. Just as they were about to drink water from the pond, they were stopped by the Marines.
"General Su has ordered that no one should drink raw water. The water is boiling. Everyone, hold on a little longer!"
Liu Jin and others didn't understand the reason, and Su Mo didn't explain it to them.
After half an hour, everyone finally drank the boiled water and found that the boiled water tasted so delicious.
"We'll stay here today. Tomorrow, I'll lead 600 people to continue exploring, and the rest of you will stay here."
When they reached land, the command fell into Su Mo's hands. Liu Jin knew that this Mr. Su was the emperor's senior brother, and he didn't have the courage to go against Su Mo.
It was an extremely beautiful afternoon. Everyone had enough water and meat to eat and rested for two hours. In the evening, Su Mo took two hundred people out hunting again, and the rest of the people set up the marching tents they brought with them.
They continued to eat meat at night, then one by one went into the tent and soon began to snore loudly.
After surviving the disaster, I finally stood on land and saved my life. At this moment, all the nightmares were over and I slept soundly.
But Liu Jin, Su Mo, Su Jue and Gao Yuanyuan did not sleep.
At this moment, they were sitting on the ground around a bonfire. Su Mo took out a compass and looked at it carefully. "We are now in the northeast direction. We don't know where we are."
"Master Liu, you will be stationed here and guard our ship. Tomorrow I will lead my men on an expedition. If they don't return within ten days... you will return immediately!"
Liu Jin looked at Su Mo and clasped his hands together in a salute: "Thank you, General Su."
Su Jue thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow. I'll leave my second brother and four hundred soldiers here to defend. I have a crow, and if I find anything, I can report it immediately."
Unknown land, unknown dangers, especially as my junior brother once said, there might be a country with more advanced technology than ours on the land across the sea - technology, in Su Jue's understanding, is roughly things like guns and cannons.
I don't know how my junior brother found out, but it's better to be careful no matter what. After all, there are only this one person left on this boat.
"Okay, everyone go to bed early."
"Yeah." Su Jue didn't act pretentiously. His legs were still weak and he needed to recover his physical and internal strength as soon as possible.
Everyone entered the tent, only Su Mo sat by the campfire meditating and alert to possible danger.
That night, three wolf packs and a lion group came. They looked from a distance for a long time. It seemed that the large tents brought them great pressure, so they finally left.
As the sky brightened, Su Mo blew the assembly whistle, and the members of the Marine Corps quickly gathered. After giving some instructions, Su Mo took 600 people out of the camp.
What they didn't know was that this was the Bering Strait from Fu Xiaoguan's previous world.
They had reached the easternmost point of Asia, and their location was the westernmost point of the American continent, a place later known as Alaska.
Of course, these names no longer exist, and this place is inhabited by a group of wealthy natives who, in theory, are the ancestors of the Indians.
…
…
"Five months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Senior Brother still hasn't sent back any news. I don't know where the Liu Jin has sailed to, or if it has encountered any danger."
"In short, I was too impatient on this ocean voyage. I should have waited another two or three years until I had built a true fleet before setting off. That would have been much safer."
On the way to the Six Prefectures of Beixiao, Fu Xiaoguan was worried. It didn't matter if Liu Jin died, but nothing must happen to his three senior brothers.
"...With the skills of the eldest brother and his companions, they only need a piece of wood to escape from the sea."
Fu Xiaoguan didn't say anything. Dong Shulan had never seen the sea.
If the Liu Jin was really wrecked in the vast ocean, they would have no way of identifying the direction and their chances of survival would be extremely slim.
"The steam engine's piston sealing problem has been solved. I estimate that the first generation of steam engines will be available next year at the latest. If a warship is equipped with a steam engine and uses it as power, safety will be greatly improved."
"Why are you so obsessed with the sea?"
Dong Shulan didn't understand. Now Fu Xiaoguan owned a mountain of gold, which was enough to rebuild a country. He only needed to make good use of this mountain of gold, and the power of Wu Dynasty would be just around the corner. In fact, now, Wu Dynasty was already invincible, but he turned his attention to the sea.
Fu Xiaoguan grinned and said, "In August, when we have five Dreadnought-class battleships, if you're willing, I'll take you to see the sea."
"real?"
Dong Shulan's eyes were full of stars. She had heard too many stories about the sea from Fu Xiaoguan, and she could not imagine how vast and boundless it was. It would certainly be great if she could see it with her own eyes.
"Why would I lie to you? Our warships will sail down the Yangtze River and head north to the seaport. There's a place called Xiaye, with an excellent natural harbor. Of course, there's also a group of indigenous people living there."
"Are we going to fight?"
"That depends on whether the natives are willing to submit. I must seize that port. You don't know how important a port is to a country. I must build it within two or three years so that the Wu Dynasty can extend its reach into the vast ocean and facilitate the maritime trade that is very likely to unfold in the future."
"The world is huge, but here we only have a few countries. I think...we should be in Asia, and this planet should have five continents and four oceans."
Dong Shulan's eyes were full of confusion. Fu Xiaoguan's gaze fell on the window. They had already entered the territory of the Six States of Beixiao.
"I'm guessing, but I need to confirm it."
